Song of the Day - First Time - Kygo, feat. Ellie Goulding

Norwegian deejay/producer Kygo is on fire lately.  Quick on the heels of his current top ten hit, It Ain't Me, with Selena Gomez comes a brand new lovely tune with British songstress Ellie Goulding.  Love this one!  Check it out...  

Song of the Day - Me Too - Meghan Trainor

Love!  When this tune first came up in a Spotify playlist, I thought of it as a funky dance jam, not having any idea who was singing it.  Then, when I looked down at the screen and saw it was Meghan Trainor, well, um yeah!  There's a certain uniqueness to her to which this tune certainly falls into. You should definitely check this one out... 

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - Try Me, I Know We Can Make It - Donna Summer

During the past week I've reconnected with the late, great Donna Summer.  The so-called 'Queen of Disco' was surely that, but even after the disco died she was still a whole lot more.  I joined Spotify as a premium member last week and I got to revisit some of the great tunes she created after the disco was gone, songs from her eponymous 1982 album, 1980's The Wanderer, and 1989's Another Place and Time.  Great songs, great memories, but today I'm in the mood for some disco Donna, and here's a classic from her 1976 A Love Trilogy.  Check out the sultry, sexy yet somewhat tender Try Me, I Know We Can Make It...

Song of the Day - Middle of the Night - The Vamps

I only recently discovered The Vamps a few weeks ago when I came upon this awesome rendition/mash-up of Ed Sheeran's Shape of You with fellow Brit crooner Conor Maynard.   I absolutely love lead singer Brad Simpson's powerful voice on that one and so I decided to check out some more of the boys when I found this one, released just a couple of days ago.  Check out the very catchy and tender pop/rock ballad Middle of the Night...

Hump Day Song of the Day - Hand Clap - Fitz and the Tantrums

Today's song was introduced to me by my pal Kyle and I loved it the first time I heard it.  The song is absolutely pulsating, kind of 80's, and so it's perfect for a beautiful Hump Day.  Check out Fitz and the Tantrums and Hand Clap...

Song of the Day - Despacito - Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, featuring Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber singing in Spanish!  The other day some of my students were looking at a music video on one of their phones and laughing as they watched.  I immediately recognized the voice and that's exactly what they were laughing at, but you know what?  Like everything else the Biebs does these days, it works.  Check out this brand new hot track...

Song of the Day - Take a Trip With Me - Natalie Duffy

Here's a sweet sounding, head-swaying, modern day, catchy folk song from a New Jerseyan who is very difficult to find online.  Great song!
